The Aviation Historian Magazine  |  Issue 13
It’s July 1965, and you’re aboard a Pan Am Boeing 707 that’s just taken off from San Francisco, bound for Hawaii. From your starboard-side window seat, aft of the wing, you’re watching the ground recede 800ft below you. Suddenly the No 4 engine catches fire. Within seconds a raging white-and-yellow plume of flame fills your field of vision, as the fuel pipes rupture and the engine falls away — along with a 25ft section of outer wing. What happens next? Read all about it, 50 years on, in our newest issue, TAH13. And that’s not all — other features include a re-evaluation of the death of leading Italian aviator Italo Balbo in an accident (or was it?) in 1940; a detailed look at the US Navy’s game-changing Pacific air operations over Truk in February 1944; and Saab J 29 ops with the United Nations in Africa in the 1960s. Plus we examine the troubled birth of Qantas’s Brisbane—Singapore service using de Havilland D.H.86s; the bizarre SNCASE SE.100; and how Russia experimented with putting wings on tanks. All these stories, and many more, are illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
